Plants and Flowers

But to cover all window sill with flower pots does not mean to interlace harmoniously alive plants in an interior. The modern phytodesign has developed many laws and rules. Something from these regulations can be successfully replaced with presence of good sense of taste. But there are such aspects which need an advice of the expert to understand.

Corner stone here, as in everything that concerns design of a dwelling, are the sizes of an apartment. The spacious a room, the larger plants and their amount. Treelike plants have decorative qualities, especially such large-leaved species, as dragon tree, philodendron or a ficus bengalese which are perfectly looked in rooms with a few items of furniture (in halls and vestibules). For small rooms it is better to select average or small species with wide and gentle leaves.

Especially beautifully plants look on a modest, softened background. If the pattern on wall-paper is fine or absent at all, it would be better to choose large-leaved plants. And on the contrary, bright pattern of wall-paper demands filigree fern leaves.

Light angle is also important when designing an interior with plants. The good effect is achieved, when tone of curtains, wall-paper, or furniture upholstery is repeated in plants. If the interior is built on contrast of black and white, rich colors of plants will give freshness to the general image of the room.
